upcoming films
Robert Roten
Greetings fellow film fans:
One new movie and two that are not so new open this week at
local theaters. The new one is the Jason Statham action movie,
"The Beekeeper." The other two are "Mean Girls" based on the
stage musical and the 2004 movie of the same name, and the Pixar
animated film, "Soul", originally streamed on Disney Plus in
2020, but it was never given a wide theatrical release until now
(especially in 3D) so it is kinda new, and it is a very good
movie, too.
Awards hopefuls still in town are the sports drama "The Iron
Claw" and the musical drama "The Color Purple".
Some good movies in town include "Soul", "Aquaman and the Lost
Kingdom", "The Iron Claw", "The Color Purple" and "Wonka".
Check the local theater web pages (links below) to see
information about upcoming movie schedules, because the lists
below do not include limited run showings in town this week,
like "Airplane" (1980) and "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's
Stone" (2001) as well as some other Fathom Events, TCM
anniversary showings, sports events, concerts, operas, etc.
Check the following web pages often to find these and other
special showings:
